What is your teaching philosophy?
Anyone can improve their understanding of a subject. I believe in helping students cultivate a growth mindset, where everyone can change and grow through practice and application.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
The student will be asked questions to assess their level and needs. Then we will look at a specific problem together, and the student will be asked to "talk me through" their problem-solving process.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I help by boosting their confidence in their own abilities to solve problems, and through practice.
